She is dressed in a saree but one of her legs is exposed"" Dilip Ghosh had said on Mamata Banerjee..
Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh, shredded by political leaders over his shocking comment that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee should wear Bermuda shorts if she wished to display her legs, remained defiant today. It is inappropriate for a sari-clad woman to show her legs, he told the media. "She (Mamata Banerjee) is our Chief Minister. We expect her to act appropriately, befitting Bengal's culture. A woman showing her legs in a saree is inappropriate. People are objecting. I found it objectionable so I spoke," said the 56-year-old amid the huge insider versus outsider debate in the state, which pivots on the Bengal's culture. Ms Banerjee, who had sustained injuries in her leg while in Nandigram, has been campaigning from a wheelchair, her leg in a cast. The BJP had scoffed, saying the Trinamool Congress chief, desperate to hold onto power, was resorting to "drama" to scoop up some sympathy votes.
